Pretty & Twisted - Ride! (Official Music Video).
Official video for "Ride!" by the band Pretty & Twisted. Pretty & Twisted was comprised of Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano, Wall Of Voodoo's Marc Moreland and drummer Danny Montgomery. They released only one self-titled album together on Warner Bros in 1995 and this is the sole single/video from it. Napolitano and Moreland had known each other for years, growing close after Concrete Blonde had opened for Wall Of Voodoo on their first tour of Australia.
On Moreland, Napolitano says: "I had met Marc Moreland in Australia the first time (Concrete Blonde) toured. That was the first country we toured outside of America. We were opening for Wall of Voodoo in Australia and we just became tighter than anything in a very short time. There was a lot of mutual worship there." About working with Moreland, Napolitano says: "I co-wrote more with Marc on this record than with Jim in the last five years. I think we are more like-minded. I think that we both have been closer to the same ideal, and a great group is always the sum total of the individuals that comprise the group. This band is the sum total of the individuals that are in it - we're different than Concrete Blonde. I just feel like we are at the same place at the same time." Moreland was the subject of the song "Joey" by Concrete Blonde. Lead singer Johnette Napolitano wrote the song about being in love with an alcoholic, and confirmed the song was about Moreland in the Concrete Blonde D.C. Sessions concert in 2002. Sadly, Marc Moreland died of liver failure on Wednesday, March 13, 2002 in Paris, France, at the age of 44.

Johnette has such a unique voice I don't understand why they didn't reach bigger stardom.

[@dagman49]

I agree. One of the most underrated albums of the 90's. Why don't we go down to Mexico when the sun goes down?

[@mwski1]

Johnette: So good...so underrated. Love her voice. Still a huge fan of Concrete Blonde.

[@richardm239]

WHY IS SHE NOT TOURING WE NEED SOMEONE REAL !!!!!!!!!!!!! TODAY MORE THAN EVER

[@damianmcnaught5392]

Classic track ... and to see so much of Johnete Napolitano being impish and having a blast with Marc Moreland is unique material ... RIP Mark and long live Johnette!!

[@ervinschoeppe6055]

That's why this is my favorite video, They look happy!

[@paulnorton2885]

I would sing this song on my long cycling trips in the late 1990s and early 2000s to put myself into the right mood to... ride!

[@jackroberts6938]

nice johnette

[@I8Trpn]

I've been searching this song for 20 years. Many thanks for posting. :-D

[@Mutt1961]

One sign of a truly original musician is that any song they play on is noticeably better because of them. Undeniably so with MM.

[@chaosxv1]

I own every cd Johnette has put out, pretty and twisted sadly, isn’t on Spotify or imusic

[@wyattwilliams7109]

It is now

[@waynedunn1108]

Johnette is a very underrated artist . Concrete blonde were underrated . I bought this album for ride . The song didn't do any thing in the charts in Australia . Personally I reckon it compares to the songs she did with concrete blonde I would compare it along side hi Joey as a great song Sydney Australia 15/72023❤❤😂😂 love you Johnette

[@ShipwreckTownBand]

One of the best songs of the decade-

[@andrewstehn5866]

Jonette we love you then and now,,my inspiration

[@jamesnunziato8068]

This is just an incredible song

[@AMeatBeetle]

The story of Marc Moreland is a sad one. So much talent, so little time on Earth. As Robert Fripp once said of Jimi Hendirx, "The current was too strong for the conductor."

[@baliscotsurf]

more like the conductor was too strong for the current

[@waynedunn1108]

I dont know why this song wasnt a hit i think it compares to joey johnette is an amazing talent i love the b side of joey i want you nice track to she has so many great songs

[@noahbawdy3395]

Mahalo

[@waynedunn1108]
